I can say quite cerainly, our digestive system is not like that
of a cow. In fact is is similar to *neither* a cow *nor* a lion.

Guess what? In many respects our digestive system is intermediate
between that of a true carnivore and that of a proper herbivore.
One of the best indicators is the length of the intestines.
Herbivores have *long* intestines, carnivores have *short*
intestines. Humans have intermediate intestines (adjusted for body
size).

We are one of the most opportunistic, 'eat-anything' feeders
in the animal kingdom.
